The purpose of this workbook is to upload data from Excel into PeopleSoft using the Component Interface to execute business logic for each
transaction. This source workbook contains both worksheets and Excel VBA code modules. The Worksheets can be copied to other workbooks
for distribution without copying the code modules.

Process:
1)
Connection Information sheet: The information provided on this sheet is required to create a new template or submit data to the database. You will need to
specify environment information as well as information in regard to how each transaction should be handled. The Action will be filled in automatically.

2) Template sheet: Here you create the template that you are going to use. The template is based upon the structure of a Component Interface on the
PeopleSoft database.
2.1. New Template: When prompted, enter the name of your PeopleSoft User ID, password, and the Component Interface you wish to use. The connect
information previously provided is used to retrieve the PeopleSoft Component Interface properties. The Component Interface structure is displayed
graphically.
2.2. Manipulate Template: Here input cells are selected for inclusion on the Data Input and Staging & Submisson sheets. The purpose of each button
provided to allow manipulation of the template is more fully described by mousing over the button on the toolbar.
2.3. New Data Input: This button copies the selected input cells into the Data Input sheet. The Data Input sheet becomes active, and you will be prompted
before the structures and data on that sheet are deleted.

3) Data Input sheet: Here you enter data values for submission to the PeopleSoft database.
3.1. Stage Data for Submission: The data entered on the Data Input sheet is then staged in hierarchical form in preparation for submission to the
database.

4) Staging & Submission sheet: The last step is to format the data and submit to the database.
4.1. Submit Data: This submits the data to the database. Your PeopleSoft User ID and Password will be required. Each row submitted is marked with the
reply from the database which will either be OK, Warning, or Error.
4.2. Post Results: This posts the status for each row submitted to the database on the Data Input sheet so that data in a status of error can be corrected
and resubmitted.
